My heart goes out to your family. I lost my son this year but it took me time to admit the cause. I am touched by your bravery in how you wrote his obituary. May healing be progressing.

There are no words, so I want to share a memory about Jared. When you lived in Norwalk, my husband gave Jared a deer antler and it seemed to make his day. I remember the big smile on his face! You are all in my thoughts and prayers!

I don't know if you remember me from Saydel. I grew up next to Linnea and Roger Johnson.There really aren't any words. I have loved ones who've suffered with depression and suicide attempts, and my kids lost there dad last year to suicide. You're not alone in this. I just want to tell you how sorry I am for your loss.

I cannot imagine the pain your family is feeling right now. I know that Jared is at peace, but that doesnt ease the pain of losing him. Krista, we, your work family, we grieve your grief. We cry your tears. Our hearts break with yours. We will travel this road with you, we will cry with you and laugh with you. We will never forget your precious boy. He will always be part of our friendship and respect for you and your family. Our shoulders are strong and broad. Our hands are ready and soft. Our hearts big enough to surround you in our love. You are not alone my friend. Not now. Not ever.

My heart is broken I know what mental illness can do it robs loved ones of life my husband did the same thing your loved did 24 years ago. A very good friend gave this message I placed it on the refrigerator and read it everyday one day at a time I hope it find you comfort too.
PSALM 147 v 3
He healeth the broken in heart and bindeth up the wound.
